I know this is sputnik, and most people hate mainstream pop here, but there are some good pop songs out there. What was the very best song that charted at number one on the Hot 100 this year? While we're at it, what was the worst?

I've just realised how few #1s there were in the US compared to the UK. Not that I really pay attention but here they switched almost every week but in the Hot 100 they're there for often over 2 months.

3 is best, 9 is worst.

In the UK, Paradise by Coldplay and Spectrum by Florence and the Machine were the best. No idea what the worst was, too many to sieve through
